Abstract: Techniques are provided for medium access control header obfuscation. One example method includes a first device encrypting a data payload using a first encryption algorithm. The first device can encrypt a field of a medium access control (MAC) header using a second encryption algorithm, different from the first encryption algorithm. The first device can generate a data frame comprising the encrypted MAC header field and the encrypted payload. The first device can transmit the data frame to a second communication device.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for performing ranging wireless communication including prioritization. A first wireless device may transmit a request for ranging services to a second wireless device. The first wireless device may transmit an indication of a ranging priority to the second wireless device. The second wireless device may determine a granted ranging priority. The first and second wireless device may perform ranging communication according to the granted ranging priority.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses for managing load of various traffic flows and various links by an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and non-AP MLD are described. An AP MLD may determine a mapping and a flexible usage policy. The AP MLD may transmit an indication of the flexible usage policy. A non-AP MLD may transmit data to the AP MLD according to the flexible usage policy.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses for negotiating mapping between traffic flows and different links by an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and non-AP MLD are described. An AP MLD may transmit an initial request for a first limited mapping. A non-AP MLD may change to the first limited mapping. The non-AP MLD may register one or more high priority traffic flows and may change to a second mapping accommodating the high priority traffic flows on at least one additional link. The non-AP MLD and AP MLD may additionally exchange second and final mapping negotiation messages.

Abstract: During operation, an electronic device may encrypt an A-control subfield. Then, the electronic device may provide the frame addressed to a second electronic device, where the frame includes a media access control (MAC) header and the MAC header includes the A-control subfield that is encrypted. Note that the encrypted A-control subfield may be jointly encrypted with data in a payload in the frame. Moreover, the encrypted A-control subfield may be separated from the payload in the frame by one or more additional subfields or may be adjacent to the payload in the frame. Furthermore, the MAC header may include an indicator that indicates whether the A-control subfield is encrypted. Additionally, the frame may include a preamble that indicates whether the A-control subfield is encrypted. The frame may be received by the second electronic device. After receiving the frame, the second electronic device may decrypt the A-control subfield.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for implementing a requirement negotiation for an error vector magnitude (EVM) (or other metrics for measuring transmission signal quality) for ranging and/or positioning operation(s). Some embodiments relate to an electronic device including a transceiver and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The one or more processors transmit, during a negotiation phase of a ranging operation, an initial request frame to a second electronic device, wherein the initial request frame comprises a first indication of an error vector magnitude (EVM) requirement. The one or more processors receive an initial response frame from the second electronic device and determine a second indication of the EVM requirement based at least in part on the received initial response frame. The one or more processors implement a measurement phase of the ranging operation in accordance with the second indication of the EVM requirement.

Abstract: An electronic device that communicates frames is described. During operation, the electronic device may transmit the frames addressed to a recipient electronic device and associated with multiple links between the electronic device and the recipient electronic device. Then, the electronic device may receive block acknowledgments for at least a subset of the frames, where a given block acknowledgment is associated with the recipient electronic device and indicates received frames on a given link in the links. Moreover, the electronic device may control an amount of traffic conveyed on the links based at least in part on the block acknowledgments. Next, the electronic device may store a remainder of the frames based at least in part on the block acknowledgments, where the frames include the subset of the frames and the remainder of the frames. Note that the frames may have a common traffic identifier.

Abstract: Methods for performing a ranging procedure according to the non-trigger-based protocol may include negotiating timing parameters associated with the ranging procedure, performing a ranging measurement, and transmitting/receiving, after completion of the ranging measurement, a message announcing initiation of another ranging measurement. The timing parameters may indicate a time window in which an initiating device can initiate a subsequent ranging measurement and the message announcing initiation of the second ranging measurement may be received during the time range specified. Timing parameters may indicate a responding device's required minimum and maximum time between ranging measurements. Additional parameters may indicate an initiating device's required minimum and maximum time between ranging measurements. A power savings mode may be entered after the first ranging measurement and during at least a portion of a time period specified by the parameters.
